Poor Jeff
Called in today to see the remnants of the T Rex at Coolum, Mount Coolum in the background.
3 March 2015
Fire has destroyed a 10-metre model Tyrannosaurus rex, nicknamed Jeff, that was standing at Clive Palmer's resort on Queensland's Sunshine Coast.
Firefighters were called to the blaze at the Coolum resort about 1:30am to find Jeff already well alight.

Learn the fun facts and controversies surrounding Clive Palmer's dinosaur theme park Palmersaurus.
Police had been investigating whether the fire was started deliberately, but Mr Palmer told the ABC he did not believe arson was involved in Jeff's demise.
"Apparently he's had an electrical fault and burnt down," he said.
"There was a storm through the morning and all I know is there was an electrical fault and he caught fire and that was the end of him."
Mr Palmer said he was still deciding whether to bring in a replacement once what remained of Jeff was dismantled.
"Jeff's brother is waiting in the dinosaur park to be liberated to take his place," the Federal MP said.
"Question is whether we bring him out or whether we leave him where he is - he's very happy with the other dinosaurs.
"Certainly the next birth we have of a dinosaur, we will name after Jeff."
